He said Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. had suggested a carnivore diet, which Vance described as eating a lot of high‑protein animal foods together with sauerkraut.

Vance claimed the diet helped him lose 40 % of his visceral fat in one month and shed 20 pounds in 20 days, and he said he also felt clearer mentally.

He added that some of the benefits might be due to a placebo effect, and he reminded listeners that carnivore diets consist only of animal products such as meat, dairy and eggs.

The Vice President’s comments highlight how a high‑protein, animal‑only regimen is presented as a way to achieve rapid weight loss, though he cautioned that results may vary.
